First success in France
(Preview)
Hi All I'm new to the forum. I am a South African living in France. I live in a small town at the feet of Les Alpilles - a small mountain range in the South of France (Provence). I've been hunting here for about 4 years and have shot a number of wild boars and foxes. Last year I took up crow hunting since there a...

Been away to long
(Preview)
Sorry fellow crow busters. I retired March a year ago and have been slaying hogs with a passion ever since. LOL Killed 1,310 in 2018 and I am over 1,150 so far this year. Mix in a bunch of coons and coyotes and I am having a blast. But, I still love a good crow shoot. I did have a decent shoot a week or so ago killi...

A great story for you guys.

The reason I am not in this photo when President Regan was in the White House in the mid 1980's is because this dinner was held in October! My father never forgave me for turning down a dinner with the President because it was "crow season" in Kansas. I told my dad I would love to attend at any other time of ye...

Irritants
(Preview)
It seems as though when I plan to go crow hunting, about half the time something is blocking my plans. These irritants,I call them, generally three of them, cause more interference and aggravation than all other things together. My leading irritants (not in order) are...no crows, weather, deer hun...

Would’da, Should’da, Could’ah...

When I tell my wife I should have done something better or different, her response is “ Would’da, Should’da, Could’ah... Don’t Should on yourself!” and she’s right. I’ve been burning my candle at both ends lately, so after dragging myself out of bed at 3:30 to hunt crows, I was so tired that my shooting...

A Quick Return To An Orchard
(Preview)
We hunted a new pecan orchard 2 1/2 weeks ago and got 27 crows. It is a good sized orchard, but most of the trees are young and just starting to bear nuts. The owners are quite anxious about their new venture, so when the crows returned, they were quick to call me back for a return trip. They talked me into com...

A Tip For Blind Setup

Depending on how you set up your blinds, this may be of interest to you. A friend told me about how a Maryland outfitter deals with frozen ground at his blinds and the light bulb turned on for me. My system uses a wire framed & camo covered surround that I stand up and brush with palmetto and other brus...

How much piebald is enough piebald?
(Preview)
This morning Paul and I made a return trip to the orchard we hunted a couple weeks ago. Bad idea but in our defense the owner was pretty persistent in getting us back to control his crow population. Seems as though he doesn't like watching his profits fly away. As you would imagine we got our butts hand...

Shotgun shells
(Preview)
The local Walmart has 12 ga. Federal shotgun shells for $4.94 per box. The load is 3 - 1 1/8- 7.5 shot. Might be a good time to stock-up if you need them. I remember about 45 years ago I was living in Atlanta, Ga. and the K-mart had Alcan 12. ga. shells for $ 1.56 per box! The load was 3- 1- 8 shot, and I bought ab...

Once apon a time, on a foggy morning.

The three and a half day deluge/monsoon finally ended and Colt and I set out to whack some crows. The forecast called for a Southeast wind which would just have to do, I needed some crow therapy. The morning fog was thick in the air as we set out the decoys and made ready our position. The crows where a li...

The 3rd Time’s A Charm!

They say the 3rd time is a charm, and this week it was so true. Three hunts this week. Monday was a 27 crow day and Thursday was a 36 crow day. This morning was charming! Setting up in a nearby pecan orchard, I knew the crows were active, but nothing had been done to the orchard this year. Knee to waist high gra...

Horsing Around While Hunting

A friend and I were hunting crows yesterday in a pecan orchard I’ve hunted many times. Our blind was backed into a hedge on the property line and we were waiting for sunup and the crows to start calling. While sitting there in the dark, we suddenly heard a large animal snort just behind us...this was no de...

When your life is on the line

Two cowboys were face to face in a life or death gunfight. One of them had a coach who whispered in one cowboys ear, "Take your time and hurry". You have probably heard this phrase yourself. I think it also applies to crow hunting, in that we can take our time preparing for the hunting season, as crow seas...
